Interferon status in children during acute respiratory infections. Therapy with interferon

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2009 Aug;148(2):275-8. doi: 10.1007/s10517-009-0702-0.

Abstract

We studied interferon status in children during acute respiratory infections and found that it depends on etiology, course of the disease, and individual features of the organism. The efficiency of IFN inductor anaferon (pediatric formulation) and the possibility of its application in the therapy of children with acute respiratory infections were demonstrated.
